Travelling with children
We want to make the journey for the little ones as comfortable as possible.
Your journey starts at the airport
The wait at the airport can sometimes be challenging for our little guests. We have tried to create fun experiences for them to make their journey a bit more enjoyable.
It is recommended to arrive early when travelling with young children. This way you avoid possible stress and start your journey with a peace of mind and with time to enjoy yourself. Track your flight on your phone if you have checked baggage. This way you can monitor when your luggage can be checked-in.
